by Aditi Hukerikar // Disclaimer: This article often mentions women and female bodies alongside each other.

A recent CDC study has reported that after the first month of vaccination against COVID-19, over 79% […]
by Hanna Carney // Trigger Warning: Anxiety, depression, and mention of suicidal thoughts I recently overheard a student having a conversation with a member of Cornell Health’s staff.

by Nara Cowing // Reserved. Quiet. A pleasure to have in class. Needs to participate more. These were all used to describe me throughout my primary and secondary school experiences.

Body positivity focuses on people reclaiming their bodies from the unrealistic (and often racist, ableist, and transphobic) beauty standards that are socially engraved in Western culture.
